Step 1: Stop using WhatsApp

Step 2: That's it, you're done!

If you are only using it for text chat (not voice/video), it's easy to bridge into Matrix.

If you do need voice/video, then you're stuck.

Snikket is an all-in-one XMPP server-client that supports calls.

But yes, in its current state, Matrix calls are pretty broken as there is no feature parity between Element Classic and Element X apps.

As usual, the best way is to use something like Signal.

I ignore those two tabs anyway.

[–] zerozaku@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah ever since channels were added I am using that tab much lesser. And oh nobody texts me anymore either.
